Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small canine breed that originated in Germany. They are sometimes referred to as "sausage dogs" due to their elongated bodies and short legs. They can come in Standard and Miniature sizes, with either smooth or long hair, and they come in a variety of colors including brindle, black & tan, and cream. While they are generally friendly and loyal with their family, they can be protective and alert--making them good watchdogs.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic because they have fur that releases dander. Dander is a common allergen for many people. In addition, a Dachshund may also produce saliva which can further contain allergens. If a person with allergies wants to avoid exposure to allergens, it is best to research a breed of dog that is known to be hypoallergenic. This breed may produce dander in lesser amounts or may not have fur at all. Be sure to consult a veterinarian for advice on which breed might suit best.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. Dachshunds are food-motivated and often gain weight easily, and as such their diets should be carefully monitored. A balanced, low-fat diet is recommended and treats should be limited and used sparingly. It is important to provide the right amount of fiber, as plenty of fiber helps to slow digestion and prevent bloating. Protein sources should also have moderate amounts of fat. Avoid foods with high levels of calcium, salt, and sugar, as these can lead to obesity and other health issues.
It is important to prepare your home when bringing in a new Dachshund. First and foremost, be sure to create a safe environment by puppy-proofing your home. Move any small items, cords, or items that pose choking hazards to a safe location. This is also a great time to designate a safe spot in the home that will be the pooch's go-to whenever they are feeling scared or overwhelmed. Next, stock up on necessities such as food, treats, bedding, and toys. Lastly, spend time establishing clear boundaries and rules.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically considered small dogs. As a breed, Dachshunds are often categorized as a toy or miniature dog by kennel clubs because of their size. Generally, they have an adult weight of 11 to 32 pounds, and an average height of 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder. Dachshunds stand out for their long, low to the ground bodies and short legs. They come in a variety of varieties, colors, and coat types, so they're quite recognizable.
Walking your Dachshund is an important part of their physical fitness. Generally, an adult Dachshund should get at least an hour of moderate activity a day. This should be broken up into several walks spaced throughout the day. To help keep your Dachshund healthy, try to walk them at least 30 minutes a day, with a minimum of 15 minutes per walk. Remember, these are just guidelines. Depending on your Dachshund's age, size, and overall fitness level, you may need to adjust your walking routine accordingly.
Dachshunds can make great family pets, especially when it comes to children. Due to their size, they are unlikely to accidentally knock down young kids, making them ideal companions for families with children of all ages. The key is to introduce them to a household full of kids in a gradual and careful manner; this way they will be more likely to accept and enjoy the presence of small children. Owners should also be sure to supervise and provide plenty of positive reinforcement and rewards for good behavior when children are interacting with their dachshund.
Training a Dachshund can certainly present a unique challenge as they can be headstrong and independent, but with patience and consistency it is possible. As with any breed, it is important to start early as puppies, using positive reinforcement and rewards when your pup behaves as you want. Dachshunds also need firm leadership and guidance, and it is important to remain consistent in any training, so as not to confuse your pup.
